      calling out heavy handed tactics of insurers that hurt our patients is not self interested

      I hate insurance companies - and think that surprise billing is horrific and gouging patients. It is bad to be on the side of surprise billing - to have patients have to pay extra because you were unwilling to take a reasonable rate

      It's definitely a VERY bad look to be on the side of a dark money PAC like @drpatientunity, which has been flooding the airwaves here in Detroit with deceptive commercials urging me to call @SenGaryPeters to vote against a bill stopping surprise billing.

      I saw that video because @drpatientunity retweeted it. This PAC's ads are Houston, deceptive, and insult my intelligence.https://m.dailykos.com/stories/2019/8/22/1880778/-Actual-doctor-speaks-out-against-so-called-Doctor-Patient-Unity …

      Basically, if a dark money PAC working for the hospital industry that's blanketing the airwaves with deceptive ads likes your message, you should rethink; that is, unless you're on the side of the insurance companies and don't mind serving as their pawns. https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2019/08/secretive-front-group-targets-vulnerable-senators-with-2-3-million-ad-blitz-over-surprise-medical-bills-fight/ …

      It is amazing how the views can be clouded by greed. Glad I am on a paycheck

      Yeah, me too, although there are an entirely different set of problems associated with that. In my case, for instance, our faculty practice plan was mismanaged for so long that it's now in Chapter 11 reorganization. Fortunately, it looks as though it will make it, but wow.😉

      Alot of it was trying to expand too quickly into other parts of the region and signing expensive long term leases. When the expected new business fell way short, disaster struck.

      So they used practice money to expand without a built in need because they thought "blue sky" - hope those managers are gone

      They are. The current team seems competent, at least.
